CELTIC HERON

A custom Celtic heron tattoo inspired by Ireland’s waterways, wildlife, and artistic heritage.

The elegant form of the heron is combined with traditional Celtic knotwork woven through the wing, creating a design that balances nature, symbolism, and craftsmanship. Long associated with patience, awareness, and a connection to water, the heron makes a fitting subject for Celtic-inspired artwork.

Designed with fine-line detail, soft black and grey shading, and strong negative space, this piece was created to remain readable and timeless on the skin for years to come.

Tattooed by Jarlath Tourish at West End Art Collective, Galway.

Matching tattoos don’t have to be identical to be connected.

These mirrored “The Lovers” tarot card tattoos were created for Evelina & Artie as complementary pieces that work both individually and together.

A beautiful concept brought to life through fine line blackwork and custom design.

Not all matching tattoos need to be identical.

For Evelina & Artie, we created mirrored versions of “The Lovers” tarot card — two individual pieces that become a single composition when they stand together.

Fine line blackwork, floral details, skeletal imagery, and a design built around connection, balance, and symbolism.

One of my favourite things about tattooing is creating pieces that tell a personal story while still working as strong tattoos on their own.
